The Villainess and I, her Zombie-Chapter 545 - Dangerous Event Starting - Lonely Undead (part 1)

Zombie walked over to the headquarters building and peeked through the window.

Cranberry was smiling brightly as she talked about something excitedly while sitting in between the two elves, Mirabelle and Olive.

A picture of a happy family.

"..." 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

Zombie smirked before turning around and walking away without even trying to get into the building.

If there was a person who truly wanted to experience the actual familiar bond and deserved it fully too - in Zombie's opinion it was obviously his Cranberry.

The Cranberry that was a mixture of three personalities sure did already experience it through the memories of the Cranberry from the current playthrough but reminiscing about something through the obtained memories and actually living through it must have been quite different, and the red-haired girl was clearly enjoying it to the fullest.

"I guess I can give her some time to play around."

The blue undead knight thought to himself.

He didn't want to admit but the information about Papaya's death shook him greatly, far more than it ever affect an undead like him.

Zombie was completely used to death - funnily enough, the species that he belonged to currently was existing solely for bringing it upon all of the livings, but...

...people can die outside of combat too...

The blue undead felt the odd sensation in his chest - something that an undead shouldn't be even able to feel in the first place.

The most shocking part was that the machine mind skill wasn't affecting it at all and no matter what Zombie's brain didn't return to its default calm state...

Did that mean that how he was feeling at the moment was supposed, to be his default state...?

"...hmm..."

The blue undead knight furrowed his brows - he rubbed his hands together feeling as if he was missing something important - and walked back towards the barracks but this time he went for the emergency hospital wing that they set up to accommodate all the people who weren't lucky enough to get their wounds healed at once.

"Chief...!"

As soon as he entered, Zombie was greeted by a surprised gasp of the female minotaur, Tangelo.

"Sup', are you free for a moment or two?"

He asked looking around - he waved his hand at Lairs, laying in the bed in the corner, with Rotte sitting by her side.

Besides that even Xavi had already gone to another quarter.

"Of course. Chief, for you I will always have time!"

Tangelo declared with a smile and hurriedly made sure that the decorations on her horns are properly in place before she walked over to the blue undead awaiting his command.

"Let's go."

Zombie waved his hand at her and the minotaur woman followed him without raising a question, leaving two mildly curious Dandelions alone.

"Let's go to your room. Lead the way."

"Ah...! As you wish, chief!"

Once they left, Zombie added without sounding particularly amused, but Tangelo blushed and nodded, hurriedly taking the lead.

After a little while, they entered one of the few single rooms - or how rather after a closer inspection, a double room with two beds put together to accommodate the sheer size of the minotaur woman.

"...sorry for getting excited for no reason, chief... what it is that you want from..."

Tangelo breathed out to calm herself - after all, no matter what her imagination was telling her, there was no way that Zombie shared them.

He was an undead, after all, and undeads...

*thunk*

"...me...?!"

The female minotaur flinched once she heard an unexpectedly loud noise and turned around, just to see the blue undead knight who removed his chestplate and put it aside without much care - which resulted in the piece of armor falling and creating the noise.

"..." 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

The blue undead was standing in the middle of Tangelo's room bare-chested as if showing off his outstandingly sculpted body with pristine blue skin.

He glanced at the stunning minotaur and smirked.

"I seek comfort - I figured out that since you even offered yourself as a concubine you will not have anything against it."

"!!!!!"

Zombie shrugged his shoulders and spoke dismissively, causing the minotaur to blush so strongly that she looked as if her face started glowing.

"Just so you know, it's perfectly fine to refuse. I am selfish, but I try to not be a complete asshole to my allies."

"!!!"

He raised his hand and assured her, but it seemed like the movement of his muscles completely entranced the minotaur woman to the point where she forgot herself and just stared at Zombie's torso.

"Hmm~"

Zombie smirked and walked over towards the taller horned woman.

"You don't have to just stare, it's okay to touch - I'm not an antique at a display - oh, and while you at it, do you have any skills that can tell you about the health of your target?"

The blue undead knight tilted his head and spoke softly.

"..."

At first, Tangelo hid her face behind her hands, deeply embarrassed, but after a few seconds, she realized that Zombie wasn't joking or messing with her.

She flinched and slowly, very slowly reached out her hand towards the blue undead knight's body...

------

"See you around, miss concubine~"

Around two hours later Zombie left the room and waved the minotaur woman goodbye.

He was about to close the door when...

"My lord! It's good to see you!"

The black and green arachne, Pawpaw, raised her hand while squeezing through the corridor that was definitely too small to accommodate her massive lower body.

"If you are free, I wanted to ask you for help with this little alchemic experiment. Your venom would be much appricia... eh...?"

Pawpaw spoke enthusiastically until one out of four pairs of eyes wandered off and ended up sneaking a peek inside the room...

...and spotting Tangello, fidgetting on the bed with an overjoyed expression while radiating the womanly charm...

*thunk*

"!!!"

Zombie glanced back and closed the door behind him, causing the arachne to flinch.

"Sorry to turn you down, but I already have some other plans - maybe tomorrow."

The blue undead raised his head apologetically and winked at her, before squeezing by and walking down the hallway.

"My... my lord...!"

"Hmm....?"

Pawpaw called out causing the blue undead to turn around and look at her with surprise.

"Can... can I... I... I mean if you want..."

The black and green arachne fidgeted and started patting down her fringe to hide her eyes with both her humanoid arms and the front spider legs.

"...can... can I be next...?"

She ended up asking timidly while looking up surprisingly bashfully at the blue undead knight.

"Sure. But tomorrow. We can play around after your venom experiment... and since you have high venom nullification skills we can play experiment with it in another way too~"

"My lord~!"

Zombie smirked and waved his hand before leaving the excited arachne behind.

--------

"Eh...?"

Pawpaw suddenly tilted her head in confusion looking after the leaving undead - and ened up entering Tangelo's room.

"Yeah, sorry for interrupting your moment, but did lord left his ring here? You know, the ancient artifact one?"

She asked the female minotaur.

"We were just cuddling, I swear! W-wait, what did you...?"

Tangelo flinched and cowered herself but then she tilted and shook her head.

"No... that's odd. Chief didn't have it from the start... "

The female minotaur realizaed in confusion.
